Pretty much, need a new system of government. So screwed up right now and no real hope to change it. Too much incentive for politicians to be crooked, and massive holes in tax code that allow large companies/1%ers to avoid paying taxes, screwing everyone else. Flat tax anyone?
Edit: would also be cool with sliding scale, but my point is that the myriad of tax exclusions / holes / deductions is total BS and a waste of everyone's time.
